Notes
10" book on the history of 4AD. CDs inset on the insides of the heavy card front and rear covers. Front cover features a tiny golden 4AD logo-stamp.
Limited edition of 3000, 2500 of which were shipped to the USA as a promo item for Warner Brothers and US retailers.
Some copies include a video compilation and T-shirt.
2-12: The Tintwhistle Brass Band Track is unlisted in the book. It shares the same index point as the Swallow track (which is without vocals but not noted as such), and follows after two minutes of silence.

The artwork for this is beautiful. Some may not like the cardboard aesthetic, I think it works wonderfully, it is brave marrying an ordinary material and transcending it with smart, graceful design. The 2 x CDs are a great collection to spread the music of the 4AD label to the world – and that is what this project was mainly for, it is a promo of 3,000.
